Welcome to 5HT 🎉
Welcome to 5HT 🎉!
You’re officially part of a community of 100,000+ 5HTers who want to nerd out on healthyish curiosities. 🤓
A little context on what you just signed up for:
I started 5HT in 2024 to make health feel cool instead of cringe. But seriously—I’ve long thought the way we talk about health is too complicated, too doomy, and not nearly practical enough. I wanted to create something that brings both the evidence and the levity.
Before it was a newsletter, it was actually a group chat. Eventually, I started collecting the best stuff people would ask me (especially my wife). Annnd now we’re here! 😄
And me? I’m Derek Flanzraich 🤠. I’m a 2x venture-backed founder and proud girl dad on a mission to make health feel more accessible and actually kind of fun. I started with Greatist (👍), then Ness (👎), and I’ve worked with dozens of leading health companies, including GoodRx, Parsley, Midi, Ro, LMNT, BetterHelp, and NOCD.
Now, I run Healthyish Content, and I’m building a nootropic CPG brand called Fixie Dust, but 5HT is where I share what I actually think (and what I’m actually doing). Every Thursday, you’ll discover 5 healthyish things I’m loving, side-eyeing, or testing.
Annnd if you want a li’l taste before Thursday, start here 👇:

See you Thursday,
Derek
